Use keep.eu to map potential partner organisations

The first new Interreg, Interreg IPA CBC and ENI CBC programmes are soon opening calls for new project applications. With new applicants comes the need to find new partners. With nearly 90,000 listed partners from all corners of Europe, keep.eu can offer great support in mapping potential partner organisations for cooperation in the new period. It is worth checking out the Partner section of keep.eu today to be well knowledgeable and guide the applicants. They can look for potential partners from all over the world and even contact them, in strict compliance with data protection rules.

Treasures of the database – cultural and creative industries
New opportunities for artists and creators

We might not often think about it, but the cultural and creative industries are among Europe’s most dynamic sectors. They employ 8.7 million people in the EU, equivalent to 3.8% of the total workforce in the EU, representing 1.2 million enterprises (source: Eurostat). Many Interreg and ENI CBC projects have recognised the potential of these industries and worked e.g. for empowering cultural and creative entrepreneurs to revitalise abandoned city centres in the Danube region (CINEMA project), encouraging the sectors to make profit of stronger use of circular economy principles, while at the same time tackling increasing waste problem in the Mediterranean area (INNOMED-UP project), as well as making digital infrastructure better available for performing artists in the Estonian-Russian border region (NTIT project). Dive in deeper to keep.eu to find what’s being done with and for the artists and creative entrepreneurs in your part of Europe.

Today is World Water Day

Today is World Water Day, and we have a lot to cherish when we look at what Interreg, Interreg-IPA CBC and ENI CBC projects have done to increase our understanding of water, and to help us value, manage and protect this irreplaceable resource.

In keep.eu you can find 2284 projects and nearly 500 documents related to water management, protection, environment and more. You can watch videos on the state of the Baltic Sea, read a policy brief on flood resilience in the North Sea Region, study reports on how storm waters are managed in the Adriatic-Ionian region, or check out a study on how Mediterranean tourism is made more sustainable.

More documents are added to keep.eu daily, from Interreg, Interreg-IPA cross-border and ENI CBC programme and project websites.

Search projects in keep.eu also by budget size

Today we bring you a new feature aimed at improving your searches in keep.eu. We also highlight the many documents, featured in keep.eu, that Interreg, Interreg-IPA cross-border and ENI CBC projects have produced on a specific and important matter to many of the people that we serve.

Keep.eu now includes a new filter to search the nearly 25,000 projects that it features – the possibility to filter projects by the size of their budget. As always, this criterion can be combined with any other filters available. Altogether, projects can now be searched using 16 different filters, and their documents with two additional filters, type and language.

Energy efficiency: Get out from under the weather with Interreg, Interreg-IPA cross-border and ENI CBC

Energy poverty is widespread across the European Union. According to the European Commission, between 50 and 125 million people cannot afford proper indoor thermal comfort. As with many other issues, this is not only about resources but, to a large extent, about planning and expertise.

Much has been produced in the field of energy efficiency by Interreg, Interreg-IPA cross-border and ENI CBC. Keep.eu contains close to 200 documents on this matter, out of around 2,500 documents overall. More specifically, you can find in keep.eu important documentation about retrofitting buildings for energy efficiency, by eight different projects spanning much of Europe’s geography, and beyond, be they buildings for housing or for work, and both public and privately-owned. Check them out here.

More documents are added to keep.eu daily, from Interreg, Interreg-IPA cross-border and ENI CBC projects.

Keep.eu will progressivly include new information in 2021

Starting in 2021, keep.eu will progressively include new information, first on programmes, then on projects and partners, and in parallel on both countries and regions and statistics. This stems from the inauguration of a new programming period, and information will be added to keep.eu as programmes have it available. With the new programming period, new regulatory requirements come about, and new opportunities arise, to increase and improve the information that users can squeeze out of keep.eu’s database.

Some of you have until now been part of the “Keep.eu 2.0 Group”. Interact and quite a few programmes and organisations kicked off the new keep.eu 3.0 process in December. In this process, foreseen to last for about one year, all interested programmes, the European Commission and representatives from the Member States will discuss the new information that keep.eu will contain on 2021-2027 programmes, projects and partners, and how it will be searched, displayed and exported. All 2021-2027 Interreg professionals who understand how they can improve their work with keep.eu are welcome to join the Keep.eu 3.0 Group. To learn more about the process, please refer to the kick-off meeting presentation.

Please note that the new new 3.0 Group will replace the 2.0 Group, and that memberships are not automatically transferred. To join the Keep.eu 3.0 Group please email us at keep.support@interact-eu.net.

Learn how to work out financial data in keep.eu

We often face needs for financial information on Interreg projects, and sometimes not only from the ones closest to us. To help you with this, we have added our first video tutorials in keep.eu, and one of them shows you a few easy steps to mine out financial data on exactly the set of projects you are interested in, be it e.g. by topic, geography, programme or period.

Check out the video here.

We also welcome you to let us know of any topics you would like to have keep.eu tutorials on by dropping us a line.

How can functional areas be defined?

Functional connections and territorial interdependencies play an essential role in programmes. Jointly addressing shared problems forms a basis for cooperation. But how can functional areas be defined? Can keep.eu be of help in the process?

During the European Week of Regions and Cities Interact organised a session on Calculating the value added of Interreg. As part of the session, Professor Andrzej Jakubowski from the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Poland gave an insightful presentation on their ongoing research* on how cross-border functional areas can be defined. We warmly recommend watching his presentation here (from 38:56 onwards) for methodological inspiration.
